...situations presented with a person showing a significant emotion.
All background pictures were independently rated first for stimulation on order to allow the testers to control for this general level of stimulation when determining group differences in empathic processing. To enter into cognitive empathy, a video-based Movie for the Assessment of Social Cognition (MASC) was used. The test not only provided proof of having a high interrater reliability and internal consistency and sensitivity, but the results highly stable over time. This video test implicates watching a 15 minute movie about four characters spending an evening together and shows everyday social interactions. It is stopped 46 times for questions to the participants about the actors' thoughts, feelings, and intentions. They are instructed to pick the right answer out of four. The test authorizes for a more various analysis of specific criterion of social cognitive functioning with disconnected scores for the recognition of thoughts, emotions, and intentions. Total scores for the right answers in the 3 sub-categories and a total score were figured. The MASC, in addition, incorporates control questions that assess a participant's likely processing dealing with non-social stimulus material.

To determine cognitive and empathy in NPD when measured with the IRI, a MONOVA model with perspective taking and empathic concern as dependent variables was conducted, that uncovered a substantial......

...recognized either (a) as an asset, (b) as a deduction from stockholders’ equity, or (c) as an expense (Korea). Some countries allow companies to choose between (a) and (b). If goodwill is recognized as an asset, it can be either (a) amortized systematically on an annual basis or (b) subjected to an annual impairment test and written down only if deemed to be impaired. If goodwill is amortized systematically, the amortization period can vary considerably. Some countries allow an amortization period of up to 20 years (Mexico), and some up to five years, unless a longer period can be justified (Japan, Korea).

4. Gray’s secrecy hypothesis – high secrecy = high PD, high UA, low IND, low MASC, high LTO
PD UA IND MASC LTO #
High Secrecy High High Low Low High
Belgium High High High High Low 2
Brazil High High Medium High High 3
Korea High High Low Low High 5
Netherlands Low Medium High Low High 2
Sweden Low Low High Low Low 1
Thailand High Medium Low Low High 3
Assuming that each cultural dimension is equally important in influencing the accounting value of secrecy, the number of dimensions on which each country’s index is consistent with a high level of secrecy could be summed as shown in the far right column above. Using this approach, Korea would be expected to have the highest level of secrecy, followed by Brazil and Thailand, then Belgium and the Netherlands. Sweden would be......

Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children. The Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC; March, 1997) is a 39-item self-report measure of anxiety for children ages 8 to 19 years. The MASC provides four scales (physical symptoms, harm avoidance, social anxiety, and separation/panic) which combine for a total anxiety disorder index. Two additional scales measure total anxiety and inconsistency respectively. Each item is rated on a scale from ―0‖ (never true about me) to ―3‖ (often true about me). Scores are totaled on each of the respective scales and converted to T-scores. According to March (1997, pp. 17) ―when no T-score is above 65, the MASC is not indicative of clinically elevated anxiety symptoms.‖ This cutoff score has a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 92% when used to classify children with or without an anxiety disorder based on the DSM-IV (March, 1997). The MASC has been shown to have at least satisfactory internal consistency on all scales (March, 1997; March et al., 1997; Rynn et al., 2006), with intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from .627 to .644 for the anxiety disorders index, depending on the age range (March, 1997); as well as adequate test-retest reliability (March et al., 1997; March et al., 1999). The MASC has also demonstrated adequate construct, convergent, discriminant, and factorial validity (March et al., 1997; March et al., 1999; Rynn et al., 2006;......

...earth once every 100 minutes. Its perigee was 702 kilometers (379 nmi) and apogee was 845 kilometers (456 nmi).
ESSA-1 had a similar design to that of the TIROS satellite series. It was an 18-sided right prism, measuring 107 centimeters (42 in) across opposite corners and 56 centimeters (22 in). It had a reinforced baseplate, which carried most of the subsystems and a cover assembly (hat). ESSA-1 had approximately 10,000 1-cm by 2-cm solar cells, which charged 21 nickel–cadmium batteries. ESSA-1 was designed to take pictures of daytime cloud cover, record them and transmit them when it was in range of a ground acquisition station.
The satellite spin rate and attitude were determined primarily by a Magnetic Attitude Spin Coil (MASC). The MASC was a current Carrying coil mounted in the cover assembly. The magnetic field induced by the coil interacted with that of the Earth's magnetic field, and provided the necessary torque to maintain a desired spin rate of 9.225 revolutions per minute (rpm). Five small solid-fuel thrusters mounted on the baseplate provided a secondary means of controlling the spin rate.
ESSA-1 operated normally until 6 October 1966, when the camera system failed. The spacecraft was fully deactivated on 8 May 1967, after being left on for an additional period of time for engineering purposes....

...already seen the various forms of the word ‘you’ in Spanish, so now we can
look at the complete list of subject pronouns.
Traditionally pronouns and verbs are displayed in the three ‘persons’. In the singular,
‘I’ is the ‘first person’, ‘you’ is the second person, and ‘he/she’ is the third person. The
first person plural is ‘we’, the second person plural is ‘you’ (remember that in English
‘you’ can be singular or plural) and the third person plural is ‘they’.
The subject pronouns in Spanish are as follows:
Singular
1
yo
I
2
tú
you
(familiar)
3
él
he
(or ‘it’ when referring to a masc. object)
4
ella
she
(or ‘it’ when referring to a fem. object)
usted
you
(formal)
Plural
1
nosotros/nosotras
we
(masc./fem.)
2
vosotros/vosotras
you
(masc./fem. pl., familiar)
3
ellos
they
(masc. people or objects)
ellas
they
(fem. people or objects)
ustedes
you
(formal, pl.)
Note: The masculine plural forms ‘nosotros and ellos must be used when referring to two
or more people (or objects) when some are masculine and some are feminine, as
explained above with reference to vosotros.
Regular verbs
Verbs that follow certain rules and whose forms are therefore predictable, are called
‘regular verbs’. Once you have learnt the pattern of regular verbs you can confidently use
any regular verbs in the same way.
There are three categories of regular verbs in Spanish: -ar, -er, and......

BSRI Test Both Fem & Masc Results
The Bem Sex-Role Inventory was a very interesting examination of analyzing traits, behaviors, characteristics, tendencies, interests, and skills. I found that the questions were basic however not realizing the qualities in question were exactly male and female. My results were interesting in themselves, I scored 66 percent masculine and 70 percent feminine and 73 percent androgynous. Surprisingly getting high scores on the Bem Sex-Role Inventory test I realize that my feminine and masculine qualities, tendencies, and behaviors tend to differentiate throughout my life depending on situations I am in.
For example I am neutral when it comes to deciding whether or not I am a dominant person since I typically don’t like to be controlled although I realize that control helps me be in line and brings out more positive effects in my life. It is hard to tell whether or not I am dominant although I do tend to be the more dominant person in the relationship at times, whether with friends or intimate relationships as well. Comparing to my results and the more androgynous score that I received I feel it related to who I am and how I feel about my personal sex or gender in the sense that at times I feel I am both masculine and majority feminine by nature, creating a sense of androgynous within my personality.
With the categorization I was placed in from this Bem Sex-Role Inventory test I would agree with the results that I...
